Helldivers 2: Laser Cannon Is A Solid Pick Against Automatons (Super Helldive Solo Gameplay)

[@Sarge94]

Huge thanks to Only Joel can judge me for reminding me how good Laser Cannon is against bots! Highly recommend checking out his solo runs: www.youtube.com/@Onlyjoelcanjudgeme

[@Onlyjoelcanjudgeme]

Wow man much respect I'm honored. You're one of the best players out there and I always look to your builds to know what's working best. Thanks for the shout bro it means a lot.

[@lourie054]

​@@Onlyjoelcanjudgeme Collab with him for wipeout missions 😂

[@Onlyjoelcanjudgeme]

@lourie054 Honestly I'd love to but that's completely up to him. He's the GOAT. I'd just be in it for the ride.

[@GOODYTOOSH]

Love having these videos in the background. Helps me focus when I know democracy is spreading.

[@art3mis37]

sometimes i just watch bro instead of actually playing

that results in less total liberation though 😭

[@slappyrad]

Absolutely ❤

[@zacharyhutter9085]

Yo lets go. That's my favorite helmet/armor combo for stealth and I never see anyone else using it. Glad we have some true dripdivers in the SEAF

[@Juhneeru]

where is the helmet from?

[@1CopperCooper]

@@Juhneeruviper helmet in super store

[@redssign]

running it solo and you still picked up more samples than every full team of randoms ive had

[@ИльяМикитич-ц4я]

what is holding u from collecting samples ?

[@slappyrad]

You’ve inspired me to use the strafing run more, now it is one of my absolute stratagems for every front! Also, you freaking took me out with that. “thank you“ 😆 Great video as always, Sarge! Love the content 👏👏👏

[@JZrez]

Just tried this load out, worked like a charm. 👍🏻

[@Spec-FiveCarr]

08:26 "Oh yeah!"

[@joefinken9682]

Lookin like Harry Potter but the sickle is your broomstick at 39:35

[@ВладиславАлександрович-г7н]

Просто красавчиг. Демократический лайк тебе👍

[@r6TrdSlow]

You make that LC look absolutely god tier against these clankers. I’m not that precise, but I do love the utility of that thing

[@Xenogaming8417]

This Solo was action packed! Wayyy entertaining to watch you play. I learned quite a few things from watching this. Subbed! 6:15 Gutsy move taking out that Hulk before getting away from the activated Hellbomb! 😎 28:28 Epic backward drop. Ot was as if you knew that missile was coming and proceeded to laser the enemy down. 😮 39:28 Nice hover glitch! 44:10 Nice Escape! I definitely want to use the jetpack for an automaton run myself after watching you. Your commitment to doing a full map clear despite running out of time is admirable! No Deaths on top of it all. This has to be the best Solo I've seen thus far! 👏 🫡

[@deriotmax122]

Another victory for the right side of history 🫡

[@redturner2325]

Great gameplay! Can’t wait to dive in after work and dust off the cannon!

[@aslightlystablefootsoldier9838]

39:30 Brother has got to be Crazy Frog

[@ButchHudson]

Thanks for the tip, I will try this loadout tomorrow 😊

[@tr1st4nb0t8]

You are unbelievable good.

[@MOjO_Helldiver]

Hey @Sarge94, just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration! Your content helped motivate me to start creating my own videos, and I'm excited to share my passion with the community.

[@Sarge94]

Thanks man, it means a lot! Watched a few of your runs, good stuff, keep it up!

[@J.B.1982]

Still picks up the samples because he’s Democracy’s hero.

[@Spec-FiveCarr]

39:44 Awww, I was anxious to see if it would let you hover out over the water. Think how cool that would be if you could cruise up the center of that inlet-especially if it was leaving a wake behind you.

[@Sarge94]

Interesting idea, i'm going to try that next time

[@Spec-FiveCarr]

@@Sarge94 And *thank you* for the all-laser inspiration! I ran it in a bunch of missions last night (and into this morning!) and it's superb. Ran the same armor, but I match it with the Firefighter helmet and Dissident's Nightmare cape.

[@Ryocryte]

wow, been running this exact loadout but with sentries instead of strafing run. i'll have to try the strafing run, ty!

[@Onlyjoelcanjudgeme]

As always you make it look easy lol. And with a meme laser build to boot.

[@J.B.1982]

I didn’t realize how hard that hits bots if you keep it on their week spot. I generally don’t gravitate towards the weapon anyway but I’ll check it out now.

[@premiumfruits3528]

laser cannon isn't a meme at all anymore, it's easily S tier against bots, only thing it can't kill is dropships

[@Onlyjoelcanjudgeme]

@premiumfruits3528 you're right it's an s tier meta pick now.

[@quintondoss6855]

30:00 “Thank you! 😃” 😂

[@madscientistgamingcentral8689]

A solid build with friends on a cold planet. Everyone running scythe, dagger, laser cannon and guard dog rover. Focusing on the same target if a hulk comes along kills them in 3 seconds or less depending on the spot targeted. The other weapons can be targed onto enemies as well if wanted like bezerkers or devistators though not needed.

[@stoywarshockofficial9984]

A worthy choice! -definitely Sarge

[@whitelion1284]

Lovin' what you do, Sarge. o7

[@Spider-Man42069]

Jump pack for the win

[@ethanmitchell2712]

“Thank you” lol 29:55

[@pyro2940]

Nice to see some actual gameplay,instead of someone's face in the corner,talking the whole time! Great videos!

[@r6TrdSlow]

24:25 - that was so lovely

[@LimeymanZero]

5:07 Did they fix blowing that Fabricator up to kill the Jammer?!

[@sugarbee6407]

Yeh :/

[@anakinfan8]

Blasted clankers fixed their faulty wiring :(

[@Sarge94]

Yeah, stealth change from one of the first Illuminate updates.

[@awesomesauceTN234]

im pretty sure one of the devs said it was a bug

[@henrymeister7238]

16:48 lidar station? When did that change from radar station? I mean, it still works I guess, as liDAR can map stuff out using lasers, but you’re still raising a radar dish, not a LiDAR sensor. Probably just a typo lol

[@irradiatedslagheap7933]

No, not a typo. They stealth-changed it a few weeks back.

[@robertmoore4556]

Favorite support for any mission is being the chad recoiless user

[@levonflodqvist]

What i find a lot of people dont understand is that any weapon can be solid as long as it results in the death of the enemies of freedom

[@RicAdbur]

You can destroy fabs with support weapon hellpods? Crazy

[@BriManeely]

39:45 invisible bicycle Sarge is back 💪

[@fernandozanchitta428]

Great work

[@atlasstoned]

strafe run is so dang good

[@DepressedHandsomeSpaceCop]

Damn this makes me want to master the laser for bots. Seems really effective (in the right hands) Incredible run. A couple tense moments but overall it looks like you were completely in charge

[@RedDragonLS007]

This guy helldives!

[@tiyonbaret6914]

30:10 Did you thank the rocket walker for the knock back lol

[@natetron21]

How can you even see some of those head shots. Not one flare. Insane. How are you this good

[@pennywisefromwish2381]

Just tried to do this.. And yeah. Did not go well. Props to you man.

[@canedr7883]

Lets liberate Mastia boyss

[@torrellex7634]

14:46 John Helldivers swims!

[@DarrenMalin]

Laser Cannon Is A Solid Pick V everything IMHO

[@premiumfruits3528]

I came back to the game a couple weeks ago after not playing for over 6 or 7 months. I don't know when they made the laser cannon work against hulk heads but it absolutely FUCKS against bots now. It went from C to S tier against bots easily.

[@thomask5434]

i don`t need a tv show for this, that will probably be shit anyway, when i can watch peak Hollywood every day just watching someone play.

[@petercottantail7850]

i used to run lc on bots all the time then there was a patch that made lc take forever to kill heatsinks (it would risk overheat before breaking a turret or tank back) so i never used it again, i think it got a small durable damage buff recently but idk by how much or if i was imagining it.

[@jackolope88]

Durable damage buff and small buff to overheat time (like 20% slower overheat or something)

[@premiumfruits3528]

they also made it work against hulk heads and gunships, it used to not damage them at all, after the heatsink buff you can kill an entire patrol with it on a cold planet and it won't even be close to overheating

[@majorcrow]

​@@premiumfruits3528 I remember using lc against hulk heads. That was the first month of the game though.

[@Roman-Agent]

If you ever did a "If I die the video ends" we'd be here untill Helldivers 3

[@theBoomerDoomer]

I'm pretty sure Sarge is the secret clone of John Helldiver.

[@mathias_jjk]

they really need to give us a battery backpack for laser weapons

[@pavelpiaredriy8081]

Bro was levitating diver for 1 minute hahahaha

[@Zaborovnik]

Laser is really good against hulks. Some may say that AMR or railgun prove better but come on, how steadily do you shoot this tiny eyespot while this beast is charging at you?

[@ToTheKitsune]

Extreme cold is the reason why laserguns don't overheat?

[@knightmare8642]

hey Sarge, what's your FOV setting?

[@Sarge94]

Maxed out - 90

[@mr.montazer5835]

Is it me or is the sickle smaller then I remember?

[@LL6942O]

I think the devs recently mentioned that they made it a little bit smaller bc it was fuckin huge

[@BeachBum88m]

IT WAS COLD. DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT SHRINKAGE?!

[@Nimbleshooter]

I am seriously curious how many hours played you have in Helldivers 2

[@siegwarfheid2868]

Can you try laser cannon for illuminate?

[@shadowwarrior7302]

the disrespect to the factory strider, 😆

[@ravenflopper2572]

Can it destroy fabricator?

[@Sarge94]

Nope

[@RobertoTalasera]

What about sqids?

[@richieh80]

It all depends on the planet. If it’s a hot planet the laser common is not great as it over heats quicker.

[@IAMBatKat]

I want to love the LC, but that scope is just garbage.

[@DeviousDiversion]

Didn’t like video due to count. Shows that Meta ain’t everything in this game and I love it for that. “No soldier bearing the symbol of Liberty shall know defeat. It is certain. FREEDOM WILLS IT!”

[@lourie054]

Now, I just need to wait for Iron Lady build. (Female Helldivers voice and eagles stratagem only).

[@GooInYou]

Why don't you drop straight into the chaos like OnlyJoel? If it goes to shit you can just start again anyway. If it goes well then you look like a real boss.

[@pfarmer1998]

I definitely enjoy learning what you can do with all the different builds Sarge chooses. Improving every Helldivers experience to preserve Democracy 🫡
